Review: The Magicians

Don’t even get me started about this show. Let’s just say that I won’t be letting Zoey watch it until she’s much older…or maybe not ever. Don’t get me wrong, the show has an interesting concept. I love movies/shows with magic in them. I just don’t appreciate disgusting scenes and overly sexually explicit dialogue and scenes. My husband and I watched the first season and stopped because it just got so hard to watch. There were some scenes that made me want to hurl. I’m not going to mention them here in this post. It’s just too vulgar to even write and think about.

I wouldn’t recommend this at all. I wish they would clean this show up so we could watch it. It has an interesting story. I don’t know why they had to ruin a perfectly good plot with repulsive characters. It’s just so classless and tasteless. I’m baffled about the 7.5 rating on IMDb. I would give this a 4.

Audience: PG-14 (almost feels like it should be MA)
Imaginative Factor: 6
Acting: 7
Story: 6
Direction: 5
Would I recommend: No

*Note: Based on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being the worst and 10 being the best you could get in a category.

I have Hulu and Netflix. Hulu is better on TV streaming of shows, so most of what I watch are on Hulu. I like crime stories , and partial to British shows, like Agatha Christie’s, Poirot, and the like. I like documentaries too, and most of what I watch are on Netflix. Netflix’s line -up of documentaries is excellent.
